Minnesota's 2020 legislative session is wrapping up so it’s time to celebrate our victories and consider our next steps.

Though we're apart, we can still celebrate together. Join us for a virtual happy hour to hear from FMR's Water and River Corridor Program Directors, and to raise a glass for our hometown river.

Our program for the evening will include Mississippi River trivia, a short presentation from Water Program Director Trevor Russell about the good, the bad and the ugly this legislative session, and an update from River Corridor Program Director Colleen O'Connor Toberman on how development projects fared this year. Come prepared with questions for our directors!

In a normal year, we would use this gathering as an opportunity to support a local brewery and celebrate local beer. If you do get takeout beer from your favorite local taproom, pour a glass for the happy hour and share with us which local business you are supporting!

Register now!

All are welcome, and FMR members and River Guardians are especially encouraged to attend. Be sure to RSVP for yourself and your friends so we can share the Zoom link before the event.
